About the Program

The Complete History of America (abridged), 600 years of history is covered in 6,000 seconds! From Washington to Watergate, yea verily from the Bering Straits to Baghdad, from New World to New World Order, the three cultural guerillas of the Reduced Shakespeare Company will take audiences on a ninety-minute roller coaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American History. The RSC tackles such controversial questions as: Who really discovered America? Why did Abe Lincoln free the slaves? How many Democrats does it take to screw in a light bulb? History is normally written by the winners, but now the RSC takes its turn.
